When several charges act on a test charge, the resultant force is obtained by

  • A.adding the individual forces as vectors
  • B.adding the magnitudes of the individual forces arithmetically
  • C.taking the largest of the individual forces and ignoring the rest
  • D.adding the individual forces and dividing by the number of charges

Answer: A

Superposition holds because Maxwell's equations are linear, so each source contributes independently. The vector nature matters: two equal and opposite contributions cancel entirely, which is how a field-free point arises between two like charges.
